i've come to terms with it. But the directors have stated that Mewtwo did go around the world after the film Mewtwo Returns. So this just pushes me to think Mewtwo learned something to get this form since he wasn't sure how some of his powers worked in the first place. Now I'm curious if Dan Green will take back his role as Mewtwo in the future.

>Minimize>Double Team>Abyss>Horn DrillWow, F U Sapphire Battle Tower. Good thing I managed to get past the 50th battle, otherwise I'd have been royally pissed off. Still, getting beaten by OHKO moves doesn't exactly feel good (or in a way it does, assuming that's the only way the CPU could handle the half-hassed team I put up for the task). I guess I managed to get good battle seeds until the 52nd, since I was able to avoid enough OHKO moves and hit through evasion boosts to get there.

Since you're talking about light grinding I take you're mostly interested in getting the battles done with so... how about a simulator?http://www.pokemonshowdown.com/Decide which tier you want to play in, make your team, and then just battle with other people. If you don't feel like making teams and just want to play for fun, randombattles is a good meta for that (though keep in mind that CAP fakemons will show up from time to time).

The good part about this is that it actually supports gen 5 metagame (as opposed to the various other mmos or so which tend to be gen 3-based or at most gen 3 mechanic with gen 4 mons added), with only a few small bugs.
